Barbados Pepperpot

Ingredients

• 2 Pigs Trotters
• 2 Lbs Oxtail
• Splash Lime juice
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 Scotch Bonnet
• 1 large Onion
• 1 Cinnamon Stick
• 2 Cloves
• Pinch Sugar
• Pinch Salt
• Sprinkling Basil
• Sprinkling Thyme
• 2 Lbs Beef

Directions

1. Step 1: Wash the stewing steak and place it in the mixing bowl with the lemon or lime juice.
2. Step 2: Set that to one side; while you slice the garlic into tiny slices, slice the onion. Chop the basil and thyme.
3. Step 3: Now you need to be very careful when you slice the scotch bonnet peppers; you want these in fine pieces, which you can either do with a long knife trying not to touch the pepper, or you can wear rubber gloves to cut it up. Wash your hands straight afterward and do not touch your eyes; these peppers really burn your hands and eyes if they make contact with the skin!
4. Step 4: Now rinse the lime or lemon juice off the stewing steak. And cut the meat into cubes.
5. Step 5: Also, chop the pig’s trotters and the oxtail into cubes.
6. Step 6: Fill the large saucepan with water and bring to a boil.
7. Step 7: Add the pig’s trotters.
8. Step 8: When the pig’s trotters have boiled, drain the excess water, and now add the stewing steak and cover with fresh hot water.
9. Step 9: Now add your chopped garlic, onion, and peppers.
10. Step 10: Now add the cinnamon stick, cloves, basil, and thyme and a pinch of salt and sugar to taste.
11. Step 11: Now simmer until the meat is tender. The flavor of this dish comes out over a few days and therefore gets tastier each time you reheat it; make sure you always reheat the entire pot to boiling point.
